Visual stress is more common than many people realise. It’s a condition where the brain finds it hard to process visual information comfortably – especially when reading or working on screens.

People with visual stress may notice:
• Words moving, blurring or jumping
• Headaches or eye strain when reading
• Light sensitivity
• Poor concentration or visual fatigue

Visual stress isn’t about intelligence or effort – it’s about how the visual system processes contrast and colour. The good news? There are ways we can help reduce these symptoms.

Our visual stress assessments are carried out by Karen, who has a special interest in this area.

Next up: how colour can make a difference…

Thinking about contact lenses but not sure where to start?
Our contact lens trials and teaches with Karen R are relaxed, supportive and completely tailored to you.

Karen will guide you through insertion, removal and lens care at your own pace, with plenty of time to practise and ask questions. Once you’re confident and can safely handle your lenses, you’ll be able to take your trial lenses home to try in your own time.

Because feeling comfortable and confident matters just as much as seeing clearly 👁️✨

If headlights feel dazzling or roads are harder to judge at night, it’s often down to how your lenses handle reflections and glare.

When dispensing new driving lenses, we look at advanced anti-reflective coatings – such as those used in Rodenstock’s LayerR™ technology, along with options from other leading lens manufacturers.

Unlike simple tints, specialist coatings work across different lighting conditions, helping to reduce reflections without darkening your vision.

🚗 We’ll help find the right driving lens solution for you.

True or false?
“You can have dry eye even if your eyes are watering.”

Pop your guess below — we’ll reveal the answer tomorrow!

Wednesdays are all about contact lenses 👀✨

Whether you’re completely new to lenses or have been wearing them for years, our Contact Lens Wednesdays cover it all:

✔️ New contact lens fits
✔️ One-to-one teaches (no rushing, no pressure)
✔️ Contact lens reviews
✔️ Honest advice if things aren’t feeling quite right

Regular contact lens check-ups are a really important part of keeping your eyes healthy — even if everything feels fine. We check how your eyes are coping with lenses and make sure what you’re wearing is still the best option for you.

Appointments are with Karen R, who’ll always put comfort, safety and eye health first.

If lenses have never quite worked for you before — or you’re thinking of giving them a go — Wednesday is the day 💜

A tiny habit that makes a huge difference…
Blink more often!
When we’re on screens we blink far less, which means our tears evaporate and the soreness kicks in.
A simple rule of thumb: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away and blink 20 times. Sounds daft, works wonders.

Training Update For Business Owners:

The RRFSO 2005 ( Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order)places an obligation on employers to ensure staff training is appropriate for the environment that they work in.

The average cost for a consultant to visit your premises is approximately £500. For businesses who only employ a few people this is unfeasible.

You can get online fire safety training for about £40, but it can be extremely impersonal and just general advice.
We are pleased to announce our first in house training sessions with practical extinguisher training at a reduced price of £75 as an introductory offer.

Attendees will be able to ask our consultant questions that relate to their workplace, your business and ensure they are engaged in the course. This will help to reduce risk to your business and add value to it at the same time .

With AM and PM sessions lasting up to 4 hours with light refreshments provided.
Why not have one or two of your employees join us in Rayleigh on the 6th February 2026. This can be booked on our website.
